We all know the importance that the Bible places on discipleship. Teaching, training, and growing those that have placed their trust in Christ. Spending time together and using those daily moments to make application into the lives of individuals from the Bible. When Jesus had the Great Commission in mind, evangelism and discipleship always went hand in hand.
Henock, was one of those men that received Christ and was
baptized earlier this year. Since he has received Christ, God has truly given
him a desire to learn the Bible. Over the last month, we have been meeting for
discipleship. Often after a meal at our house, we will continue working through
the material. Watching him learn the Bible and making application to his life has
been incredible. He is currently on lesson nine of thirteen. Please continue to
pray for him as he learns the truths of Scripture.
Bethel’s
Birthday...
On May 25th, our church will be celebrating three years since we first opened the doors. Thinking back over those years reminds me of God’s faithfulness and what He can accomplish. He has truly blessed the preaching of His Word.

Next year, it is our desire to renew the lease on our
current meeting place. This lease normally requires us to pay one or two years
of rent at the time of signing. On the birthday of the church, we will be
taking up a special offering that will go entirely toward the rent. We ask that
you will pray for us as we celebrate what God has done through giving.
Biblical
Counseling Class...
The last several months I have been teaching at a local Bible college that is connected with one of our sister churches. The course I am teaching is “Introduction to Biblical Counseling”. I meet just one time a week for a two hour session. In the class, we have been able to cover some amazing topics. We have looked into the sufficiency of Scripture, the goals of counseling, and how to help people apply Biblical principles through weekly homework. I believe these future pastors and evangelists have a real desire to make a difference with the power of the Gospel. Please pray as we conclude the class that God will allow them to use the knowledge for His glory!
